I know it does if you follow the recipe and get rid of what you know about
making meringa. This is very different to an Italian dolce. It won't be
what you expected at all, but you very likely will love it.
I first made it for a friend's birthday party and I had Italian kissing my
feet! (exaggeration alert) I was later hired to make them for a First
Communion party, and it is the most requested cooking lesson from Italians..
although I do not teach Italians very often. Because it was an ordinary
everyday mummy made it food when I was a kid it has always blown me away
that people here find it so unusual and delicious, but it is still my
favorite pie. I'll email you the translated recipe. Try to find a dish
made for baking quiche.
